When I got in an accident in 2008, I never really went into shock. Never freaked out, never got woozy, never anything except the fact that my blood vessels pretty much shut down (which I told the medics right before they tried to stick me in the arm; Me: "Oh wow, usually I have really good veins, but right now I seriously doubt you're gonna be able to stick me." Medics: "Don't worry, we're professionals, it won't be a problem." stab stab stab stab. "Hrm. Lemme see your other arm." stab stab stab. "Shit, I guess you were right." stab stab STICK! "finally.")
Anyway, sine then, I've basically just gone about my life, ignoring the injury to my leg, despite its best protestations. I've only had massage on it once or twice, and other than that, it hasn't been touched.
So the other day, my girl asks me if she can give me some sort of massage, so I decided that my leg could use a little lovin' after these years of neglect, and asked her to massage the scar tissue a bit.
A few things happened: One is that she worked her way around until she landed on the end of the damaged nerve into my foot, and made it shoot the craziest pins and needles I've ever experienced. That, however, was the only real physical sensation I got out of the wound itself... sort of.
There was a completely indescribable sense of intensity, both physically and emotionally, for which there literally are no words. She noticed my reaction, and started going to town on that spot, which sent me twitching and shuddering and grimacing from some sort of voluminous non sensation that I really don't understand.
A few moments later, and I was nauseous and dizzy and sweating, like I had finally gone into some sort of shock.
For a lot of reasons, the period around that wreck was a pretty shitty time in my life, and I'm wondering if, not only the injury itself was triggered, but the neural pathways associated with that time period's memories and such were also dredged up. Bear in mind that the specific nerve she was working on has basically no function, so those specific pathways have laid untouched since the wreck.
I wish she were still around (for many reasons, but also) so she could do that again, because I feel like there still might be a lot for my brain to let go of surrounding that whole ordeal, and that might be a way to go about it.
Anyone else here have anything similar??? Ideas/advice???

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.
If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.
Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.
To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.
Again, if you have any problems: get in touch.

First fix:
Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.
Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.
PLEASE NOTIFY THE ADMINISTERRERRERR ABOUT ANY PROBLEMS!
- open the menu at the top
- hit New Posts to see what's actually new and browse the new stuff from there
- go back to the Forum Index
- open the menu at the top again
- click Mark forums read
this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.

A friend of mine is into "trauma release therapy" or some damned thing. PM me and I can put you in touch with him. I have no idea what it's all about but to me it seems pretty far out. I'm sure there's something to it, but I'm an old-school take-aspirin-escape-from-hospital-with-head-injury-type of guy.

Heh. That reminds me of a conversation I had with ski patrol in the clinic after knocking myself out, and having my pupils go all independent on me...
Ski Patrol: We need to put you in an ambulance and get you to the hospital.
Me: I'm 17 years old with no job and no health insurance.
Ski Patrol (without skipping a beat): Then we need you to fill out these release forms...
After which, I drove the 1.5 hours home. Not fun.
